Frequently Asked Questions
Is FIRST EARN better than WOW! for online shopping?
EARN gives 1% cashback (cash, not points). WOW! gives 4X RP (1% value at ₹0.25/pt). Both are FD-backed virtual/physical cards. EARN is simpler; WOW! adds travel insurance and better rewards but requires ₹5,000 FD vs ₹10,000 for EARN.
